But weight is not a big deal for the offensive line. Like the old Minn. teams, where their O-line looked like a bunch of tightends, they do a ton of reach and cut blocking, essentially zone blocking, and getting to the next level. They are really just trying to get in the way of defenders so that the QB can make the best read for the situation.
Their defense on the other hand will probably get mauled.

We'll run the ball on them, but they will on us, too. Air Force led the nation in rushing yards per game last year. The triple option is just a tricky offense to defend. The difference in this game will be our ability to pass.
We should win but it will probably be by an ugly-looking score (like 38-28) and people will freak out about our run defense, unaware that AFA does that to everybody.
Do not expect this game to be a cakewalk. UMass the next week should be, but this one is not a gimme.
